On break from Rough Trade and her band The Moldy Peaches, our friend Kimya Dawson finds herself at home on Important Records, releasing two full-length albums at once. Both are full of moving original folk songs about Atari 2600s, love, growing up, growing old, overcoming hardships and Matlock. Dawson is one of the most genuine voices in modern music and the superstar of NYC's anti-folk scene. Knock, Knock Who? finds Dawson stronger and more confident than ever before.

Knock-Knock Who?
One of the earlier CD's from Kimya Dawson, recently featured on the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack for the movie Juno. Very indie, (alternative/anti-)folky, quirky and clever. A nice change of pace from the cookie-cutter sound of today's recent mainstream. Play it loud in your car while you drive around with the windows down, and see what kind of strange looks people give you! I love it!

Awful. Not worth it even if it were free
I'm a big Kimya Dawson fan and normally love her voice, off beat thought provoking lyrics. I bought this and it is awful beyond my words to describe. Out of tune instruments and voice may be cute once in a while, but whole songs and trashy or depressing lyrics were just too much for me

disapointing
I was disappointed is this recording, compared to Kimya's others. (esp. "Remember That I love You") Her unique, honest, from the heart lyrics seem to be missing here. The quality of the recording stinks. Most of the songs are so whispery soft they can't be heard, then a few are screechy loud. Not easy to listen to. I'm a Kimya fan, but I consider this CD is a waste of money and time.
